Education

I am a cultural and political ecologist, and development geographer. My
work attempts to link the political economy of access to and control
over environmental resources, and ecological change (political ecology),
to issues of technology, knowledge, and social power, more typical of
research in science and technology studies (STS). To date, I have
advanced these concerns by investigating the transformation of
groundwater-based irrigation, and urban and rural water supplies in
South Asia. I also serve as Environment and Society Section Editor for
the journal Geography Compass and Executive Co-Chair for Sustainability, Grand Challenges Learning Initiative

The Department of Geography & GIScience reaffirms its strong commitment to diversity and equity by providing a welcoming and supportive community for students, faculty, and staff from all cultural, ethnic, geographic, racial, and religious backgrounds, as well as gender and sexual identities.
